RH Line

Speedway

"You had in your paper about discussing the traffic problems in Loveland. All you've got to do is get our Loveland Police Department out on 29th Street and heading toward Madison between the hours of 3 and 6 p.m. It's like a 50 mile per hour zone there, and you go south on Madison, it's a

45 to 50 mile hour zone there. There's tickets throughout there and revenue, if you want to slow down traffic. Second thing is, I don't care about global warming. I want gas prices to go down because they're supposed to be down below $3 a gallon now and that's never been done."

New Robocalls

"I thought all of the political robo-calls were over. Last night we got a robo-call to impeach Obama. The Republican Party is really reaching far and wide."

Marijuana Vote

"I think if you look at the border wars on TV, on the news, there's no way the Mexican drug cartel is going to give up this lucrative business for potheads up here. I think they'll end up turning us into a war with Mexico."

"Our City Council members deserve a great deal of credit for contemplating opting out of recreational marijuana. Federal law bans marijuana. Therefore, Amendment 64 is unlawful since no state can enact a law which is in conflict with federal law."

"We laughed out loud at the caller who justified his drug habit as God's own natural medicine. Are medicinal heroine and cocaine next on your agenda? Have you heard of hemlock? Just because it comes from a plant doesn't mean you should put it in your body. Where did you think the ingredients for pharmaceuticals come from? At least with them you have scientific quality control and litigation for your side effects. Which comes first, the marijuana or stupidity?"

"How can the city of Loveland opt out of something such as the legalization of one ounce or less of marijuana as voted on by their citizens and approved? That's like them opting out of providing us with reasonable electrical rates, sewer rates and water rates. Oops, they've already opted out of that."

"Thank you City Council members for keeping your heads on about the use of marijuana in our city."

Wind Tax Credit

"Of the 37,000 jobs that will be lost because of the lack of passing of the wind energy production tax credit, I can guarantee you that none of them make $324,000 per year. We're not going to save any money if we bump them all up to $100,000 a year. Most wind energy workers make less than $50,000 a year. So $324,000 per job is a gross exaggeration."

Hometown Hero

"Yesterday as I picked up my copy of Sports Illustrated, look who's on the cover, a Loveland native, Collin Klein. How neat is that? What a wonderful tribute to the Klein family. It's just wonderful stuff. I hope people get a chance to look at that and read it. It's a good story and congratulations to the Klein family."
